SCORE

SCORE - Security Consensus Operational Readiness Evaluation

SCORE is a cooperative effort between SANS/GIAC and the Center for Internet Security(CIS). SCORE is a community of security professionals from a wide range of organizations and backgrounds working to develop consensus regarding minimum standards and best practice information, essentially acting as the research engine for CIS. After consensus is reached and best practice recommendations are validated, they may be formalized by CIS as best practice and minimum standards benchmarks for general use by industry at large.

SCORE Objectives:

Promote, develop and publish security checklists.

Build these checklists via consensus, and through open discussion through SCORE mailing lists.

Use existing references, recruit GIAC-certified professionals, and enlist subject matter experts,
where and when possible.
